Frequently asked questions about BFH772 1%

What is BFH772 1% used for?

BFH772 1% is a topical small molecule being developed for erythemato-telangiectatic rosacea, a form of rosacea marked by persistent facial redness and visible blood vessels. It is applied as an ointment to the skin. The drug is in Phase 2 clinical development and is not approved for marketing.

What does BFH772 1% target?

BFH772 1% targets KDR, also known as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. It acts as an inhibitor of this receptor. Because KDR signaling drives blood vessel growth and dilation, inhibiting it is the proposed approach for addressing the vascular features of erythemato-telangiectatic rosacea.

Who makes BFH772 1%?

BFH772 1% is developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the ointment in rosacea patients.

What phase is BFH772 1% in?

BFH772 1% is in Phase 2 development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 2 program has completed, with no trials currently listed as active.

What clinical trials is BFH772 1% in?

BFH772 1% has been studied in one Phase 2 trial, NCT01449591, titled Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of BFH772 in Rosacea Patients. The trial enrolled 36 participants in the United States, was randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled, and has completed.

Is BFH772 1% the same as BFH772 1% ointment?

Yes. BFH772 1% and BFH772 1% ointment refer to the same investigational product from Novartis. The ointment designation describes the topical formulation used in the Phase 2 rosacea study, so searches for either name point to the same asset.
